Our Experience With The New Update

The main highlight of the update apart from the “Port-a-fort” throwable is the “Replay” functionality.

The replay doesn’t take much space on your hard drive (or the SSD). For me, it was merely 1-4 MB in size while I had the 1080p resolution gameplay with EPIC visual quality in action.

You’ll find the toggle option for this feature under the Game tab in the settings. Here’s an image for your reference:

When you reel into the replay, you will find a lot of options to encounter a cinematic experience of your gameplay. Well, it is something similar to Nvidia’s Ansel, but you don’t get the option to capture a picture natively. You would have to utilize Nvidia’s screenshot ability to capture your favorite moment.

Here’s how the replay UI looks like:

You even get to change the camera mode as follows:

Third Person

Drone Follow

Drone Attach

Drone Free

Gameplay perspective

When I fired up my replay, I was amazed how great it looked!

Now that the Leaderboards option from the menu bar is gone, you will find a “Career” option. When you head into that, you will see options for an overview of your profile, check replays, and check the leaderboards.

Leaderboards: Is It Working?

It seems to be active after the update, but I’m not sure whether it is accurately tracking the positions/scores or not.

Here’s what it looked like (Oh no, I’m an elite player!):

I didn’t take a lot of screenshots, but here’s my favorite:

You can even adjust the exposure, focal length, and toggle the auto-focus feature.

Bugs/Glitches

I’ve had a few hours into the game (after the new update), and I haven’t yet encountered a bug that needs to be addressed.

Final Thoughts

Although I didn’t get the port-a-fort impact, the replay feature was worth appreciating.

The update fixed a lot of pesky bugs and improved a lot of things that the players suggested. So, it’s an update which addresses quite a lot of improvements and introduces some new features as well.

Did you try the game after the recent update? Excited about the 50v50 event?
